Sounds more interesting. I don't want to sit in my ship and play Space Monopoly without ever start my thrusters.
In case of having employees with their own ships, I suppose you will need to use the Command Interface and some sort of "e-mail" communication system, but the big distances in space will make unlikely any type of communication outside the system where you are. Even in the same system we could have a little delay, if not due to technology limitations because our pilot needs to re-send his data to us. (If we ask a pilot to go to a space station and send us the market prices, he will need to dock in the station himself, and then transfer the data from his coputer to ours. Besides, such information surely will be slightly outdated.)
if you dont want to play space monopoly, then dont do it, nobody is pressing you into it.
The data would be about as outdated as the game data between 2 CoD players, one in the US one in EU, who play in multiplayer would be. neglectible
